Another French Street Oil Painting by Noosa Artist Chris Hobel

Another French Street Oil Painting by Noosa Artist Chris Hobel 8x10"

I love this quote as it sums up how I feel about painting. The feeling that the learning process just doesnt end. At least one  painting hero felt the same way
“Painting is very easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do”
Edgar Degas
My latest small  oil painting is called "Another French street" for want of another name, would appreciate someting more quirky form any witty readers.
It is 8x10" in oils.Lots to challenge, the perspective, scattered light, simplifying all those bits.I would like to be able to keep the fresh colour of the first step in the painting, It seems to have been lost in the final more finsihed painting at the top. Overuse of white seems to do this, ie deaden  the colour. Its is good to leave the warm transparent shadows untainted. Something I will try to do next time!
If you would like to buy please email me. Prints available at Fine Art America
